Isla Grand Beach Resort Review

This hotel used to be the Radisson, and it remains the nicest full-service hotel in town. By press time the recovery from Hurricane Dolly will be complete, including the landscaping around the pools, with plenty of palm trees and flowers. The popular beach in front of the hotel is completely refurbished. The cabanas -- the "standard" rooms -- are attractive and comfortable. Those with beach views are the best, and those with ocean views are the most expensive. The rooms in the tower, which are actually two-bedroom condos, are large, handsomely appointed units with sleeping for up to six, two full bathrooms, a full kitchen, and a spacious living/dining room. Get one that is above the third floor for the sake of quiet.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; 2 outdoor pools (1 heated); 4 outdoor lit tennis courts; 2 Jacuzzis; room service; in-room massage

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
